Blenheim Palace Day Tour with the Cotswolds or Churchill War Rooms from London

Discover Blenheim Palace on a full-day coach trip from London, with a choice of the Cotswolds or Churchill War Rooms itinerary. The experience connects the palace associated with Winston Churchill's birth with either village scenery or wartime history. Travel with a professional guide and enjoy a day that combines historic surroundings with time to explore. The palace's grand interiors and landscaped estate offer a striking introduction to the Oxfordshire countryside. The two itineraries are alternatives. Check your date and selected ticket for the destinations and admission included.

Discover Blenheim Palace, the Cotswolds and Churchill's story

At Blenheim Palace, discover the State Rooms, Long Library and exhibitions connected with Churchill when palace admission is included. The surrounding parkland provides the setting for this historic country estate. The Cotswolds itinerary visits Burford and Bourton-on-the-Water. Explore Burford's High Street and the streets beside the River Windrush in Bourton, with opportunities to take photographs of the village surroundings. Alternatively, the Churchill War Rooms itinerary visits the underground headquarters used during the Second World War. The self-guided attraction includes the Cabinet Room and Map Room; it is an alternative to the Cotswolds visit, rather than an additional stop.
